January 17, 2007 -- MapText Inc. has added several prestigious clients to its worldwide customer base for SmartLabel, the company’s MapInfo-based labeling product.

Organizations that have recently purchased SmartLabel include a large telecommunications company in Canada, a city council and a marketing company in Australia, a national geological institute in Slovakia, and a transportation company in northern Germany.

All of these organizations are using SmartLabel to create aesthetic maps for printing and/or on-screen viewing, quickly and cost efficiently.

SmartLabel is an easy-to-use and fully integrated software package for MapInfo users to display or print high-quality maps. The software is compatible with MapInfo Professional v.7.0 or above. MapText’s release of SmartLabel generated great interest and intense feedback from MapInfo users in need of high-quality label placement.

SmartLabel has two modes of operation: (1) dynamic and (2) static. In the dynamic labeling mode the system automatically re-labels the map as the user pans or zooms, thereby optimizing the placement of labels in the current view. In the static mode, the user can provide a scale or map extent at which the text placement should be done. SmartLabel has a simple and easy-to-use interface in which the various placement capabilities are illustrated by descriptive pictograms.
